Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-996:
-----------------------------------------

Any help in that respect would be very much appreciated. On that note -- we're trying to restart our Bigtop meetups/hackathons this summer (http://www.meetup.com/HandsOnProgrammingEvents/events/122050632/) perhaps we can find folks interested in helping us with our documentation, etc.

> I argue that a major part of becoming a contributor for Bigtop is a learning curve in how to use all the mechanics of the trade. I see this times and again.
> We need to have a HOWTO.txt document that would have a trivial description of the needed steps. Something like:
> sudo jenkins
> clone Bigtop repo
> mvn install top pom.xml
> mvn install itest 
> set HADOOP_CONF_DIR, HADOOP_HOME, HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME
> mvn install test-artifacts top pom.xml
> mvn install test-execution top pom.xml
> mvn -Dorg.apache.bigtop.itest.log4j.level=TRACE -f bigtop-tests/test-execution/smokes/hadoop/pom.xml verify
> That might be sufficient.
